I don't remember the limitations of the unregistered Teledisk program, but something in the back of my mind says Dave Dunfields IMD (?) will translate Teledisk programs.

Something I've found very useful over the years is the Don Maslin archive (I think also posted on bitsavers.) A quick check shows (at least the ones I looked at) the Osborne protgrams available in Teledisk format as:

Depending on when you need them, VCFMW is coming up in a few months. I have a number of Osborne 1's as well as a couple of 386 machines set up with Teledisk (I bought it *years* ago when it became available to listmembers), imagedisk, and *maybe* Dave Dunfields IMD(?). As VCFMW gets closer and you still need these floppies read, let me know and I'll put the machines in with the stash of "junque" to unload :).

I *think* you are on the East coast, and it would surprise me if the RICM doesn't have working Osbornes.

Both the person with the floppies, and I are in Oregon.

I remember that Teledisk buy, thanks, you pointed me in the right direction, and I found backups of my DOS C:\ Drive on my Mac with Teledisk and 22Disk, it looks like they’re both unlicensed copies though.  That group purchase was way in March ’99, I managed to find the email from Bruce Lane, that was the HARD part, then I had to find the email attachment.  That was easy.  If Mail.app would do a better job of searching my email archives, it would have been easy to find the email itself.
